Becoming a new dad is a profound, life-changing experience. But fatherhood is also embarking on a journey that can engender its fair share of weariness and bewilderment. For the new dad, gifts can make all the difference. There’s nothing like a few creature comforts to give him a chance to chill, whether it is something weed-related to help him keep his calm, a fitness gift to help him blow off steam or just about anything else — the options are endless.

Eventually, that new dad will blossom into a wise, skilled and well-grounded father…but, for now, here are some great gift ideas to help him on his way.

If your Dad’s ideal day is spent on the links, this pocket knife is one Father’s Day gift that’ll earn a permanent spot in his EDC rotation. Its Divot Tool is an essential for the golf course: Dad can effortlessly repair any damage he and his golf buddies have done to the green, making him even more of a hero than he already is. Off the course, its clip blade is extremely versatile and will be a go-to for camping trips or his at-home DIY tasks.

These pre-rolls are long-lasting, all-natural — and guaranteed not to get that new dad arrested in all 50 states.

Dad probably isn’t smelling that good with a newborn around. Get him some cologne to help him get a bit of pep back in his step (and make it so you actually want to go near him).

The last thing a new dad has time for is putting effort into the wardrobe. Here’s a basic, versatile sweatshirt that is comfortable, durable and always odor-free.

These moccasins are warm, comfy, not too fussy — and optimal for wandering around the house late at night.

Your typical dad won’t be getting enough sleep for some time, but this cream will get other people to stop asking about it on Zoom.

New dads are either developing a coffee habit…or discovering their coffee habit needs to get less complex and time-consuming. Either way, this Bonavita unit delivers a quality cup and has two key features for the exhausted parent, one-button simplicity and an automatic on-off function.

This Sonos unit is the perfect speaker for both the dad who already has a sound system and the dad who needs to start one.

This great facial moisturizer is designed to awaken fatigued and dull skin. Entirely coincidentally, one of the primary side effects of a new dad’s perpetual sleep loss is fatigued and dull skin.

This carrier is simple, secure and easy for one parent to use. The little one is apt to fall asleep, and the new dad has two free hands to get work done on the laptop.

Desperate times call for this robust, peaty and mouth-watering Scotch whiskey that’s available just about anywhere liquor is sold.

The New Basics: A-to-Z Baby & Child Care for the Modern Parent

Michel Cohen’s guide is easy to search and delivers common sense, agenda-free advice that will prevent many Google searches and panicked texts to friends and family.

One of the first things a new dad learns is that towels are required — constantly. Here are some functional microfiber ones to have within easy reach.

A multi-tool always comes in handy — especially when baby stuff is constantly arriving at the house, often with substantial assembly required.

This is a simple, loud alarm clock that will jolt that new dad back to temporal reality.

New dads handle more of the cooking load. Time to invest in GP’s “Just Get This” pick for best cast-iron skillet, which is lightweight, pre-seasoned and exceptionally smooth.

This car seat is super-affordable. It works from infancy through pre-adolescence, and it’s a great option for a second seat for parents who need to have one in both cars.

Dads still get important calls and texts, and when fighting new parent brain, the easiest device to keep track of is one that’s attached to the wrist.

He’s already got one tush to clean all day and night, so get him something that keeps him from having to clean his own, like this Tushy Spa 3.0 bidet that easily attaches to his current toilet.

Diapers are a must-have — and pricey. These ones have one essential feature: a yellow line that turns to blue when wet. Pro tip: gift size 1, as babies grow out of the newborn size quickly.

New parents can never have enough coffee. This signature blend from BLK & Bold is roasted in small batches for taste, and 5 percent of profits go toward helping at-risk youth.
